MDMA's basketball comeback ends in defeat

Michael Darragh MacAuley's return to the basketball court ended in disappointment last night.

Dublin manager Jim Gavin was an interested spectator as the five-time All-Ireland winning midfielder tipped off his Super League career with Eanna against UCD Marian in UCD. However, the Dublin derby ended in a 84-79 victory for the students.

It was confirmed earlier this week that MacAuley had joined fellow GAA stars Kieran Donaghy (Tralee) and Aidan O'Shea (Sligo) in the Super League, with match-ups against Donaghy set for after Christmas. MDMA played a lot of basketball in his younger days before concentrating on his Gaelic football career.

Nice to have some famous faces in the crowd tonight. Good reminder of the fantastic night it was for @UCDGAA honoring the legend Dave Billings. pic.twitter.com/5j5RyndmbW
